ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Abimbola Olowofoyeku, of Keele University, who, at relatively short notice, made a significant contribution to the section on inheritance tax. I would also like to thank the staff at Cavendish Publishing for their continuing friendly support and ever-efficient work in compiling the tables of cases and statutes and the index.
